This weekend I was busy making kokeshi doll ornaments for my daughter's nursery class. Each child is supposed to bring something to give to the other children. I decided to give ornaments since I've been told no one throws away a Christmas ornament. Do you think this true? Have you ever thrown away Christmas ornament? The only ornaments I've thrown away were broken ones. Curious to hear your thoughts.

Great idea for Christmas! I have only thrown away broken ornaments too. Although not every ornament makes it onto the tree every year. Sometimes we only put up a small pink one if we are traveling during holidays. Today we are getting a real tree. Yippee!

I don't always put up every ornament either. Usually I like to have the tree as a specific theme. This year I just let the kids put up whatever they wanted. So needless to say, there's a lot of toy ornaments at the bottom of the tree.

yes... I never threw a xmas ornament out and these I wouldn't for sure... they are so pretty!!! they are so sweet that I would carry one in my bag...:)my bag is full of things that bring me cute memories...

Funny you should ask. I tried to throw away a few old nasty cheap plastic ones, but I couldn't bring myself to do it! So I still have them, in a box, in the basement. But I also have several broken ones that I can't bear to part with.

I've never thrown any away either, but I was grateful to whoever donated 40 vintage glass baubles to our local charity shop, as they came home to stay with me!To echo everyone else again, those dolls are WONDERFUL!

Love them! Did you see the Kokeshi Gallery that Beth over at Red Yarn (blogspot) held earlier this year where people made kokesi doll, posted photos to Beth and she hosted them on her blog for 2 weeks - some really cute ones!

ummm...I throw broken ornaments away. I have my favorites but I feel guilty not using all the others. I'm getting too many though and honestly prefer handmade to store bought so this coming year I am going to go through and 'cull' out those that don't make the cut! HA! I'll donate those to the kid's schools.

I just stumbled upon your blog today. Though I am more than 2 months late to make these Christmas ornaments, I'll definitely try to make these Kokeishi dolls cos they are absolutely kawaii! Thank you for sharing your craft ideas.

Just finished some similar dolls for our ornament swap. I thought I'd made them up, now I see they're traditional Japanese dolls... How funny!I'm going to use your tag, it is so adorable; thank you for offering it to us.I repair ornaments that get damaged, never discard them.
